Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

"I won't let you down."

Crono had a look of envy on his face.

"If I hadn't majored in magic, I would have wanted to play with a powerful long sword."

"But Master Sidi seems to have made a pair of magic pattern armor specially for me. Let's go and take a look."

The man said a few words itchingly, and then took Chu Ming out of the residential area and came to an underground street door.

In fact, after the opening of the Second Magical Era, the dwarf and goblin races in southern Xinjiang are all from the underground world.

It can be said that two-thirds of the territory of Reran Kingdom is above ground, and the remaining one-third is underground. The capital of Reran Kingdom is built on the central cave.

Although Beltram is far away from the central cave, there is an independent small cave under the city. There are a total of thirty-four streets in it, accounting for one-eighth of the size of Beltram. Most of the dwarves in the city Craftsmen all live here.

This natural cave already existed before the city of Beltram was established. Later, the ancestors of the Harlowen family led the dwarf army to pass by here and discovered the endless red flames hidden in the cave. The Harlowen people stationed here and worked with the dwarves to build today's Beltram.

The red flame earth fire is a flame that draws on the heat and magic power of the earth's veins. It is extremely hot and will melt immediately when touched by ordinary weapons. It is the ideal pure color magic flame for dwarf craftsmen to create the best weapons.

Compared to the ground, most caves in the Kingdom of Reran are rich in fire elemental magic, which can nourish and enhance the magical blood of dwarves. They are also a good place for dwarf craftsmen to build weapons.

This is why even today, despite the development of the Reran Kingdom, there are still many dwarves who cannot leave behind the cave life.

It can be said that the city of Beltram was born entirely for the earth's fire. Due to the excellent quality of the earth's fire, Beltram is quite famous among the southern cities in the Kingdom of Reran. There are many master craftsmen every year. Come here because of its reputation.

For Crono, it is very simple to find a master craftsman to forge weapons. After all, the Harlowen family is the real controller of the Red Flame Earth Fire. In Beltram, even the city hall has to give Harlowen The family has a bit of face, and some master craftsmen are eager for Cronudo to delegate some building tasks, so that they can shorten the term with the Harlowen family and extend the lease of the Earth Fire Craftsman Shop.

The real problem is the large amount of magic materials required to forge the best weapons.

Fortunately, in order to build a good relationship with Chu Ming, the Harlowen family helped gather the magic materials, so that the equipment took more than two years to be successfully built.

If you are unlucky, it is common for it to take ten years or even decades to build a top-quality weapon. Chu Ming can count on it soon.

Chu Ming stood at the door of the underground street and looked inside. He saw at the end of a hundred-meter-long cave passage. The magic crystal lamps in the street illuminated the shops on both sides, dispersing the red hot air rolling inside among the street lamps. outside.

After the two of them walked down the stairs and entered the underground street, a scorching hot air hit their faces instantly. Chu Ming felt that the temperature around his body instantly increased by more than ten degrees.

Since the underground streets are not affected by the lockdown, dwarves walk leisurely on the streets, seeming to feel more comfortable in this temperature.

Crono wiped away a few drops of sweat on his forehead due to the scorching heat. He couldn't help but complain: "Everything is good in this underground street, it's just too hot."

"But the dwarves are quite comfortable here."

Chu Ming listened to Crono's words. He looked above the cave. The minimum height difference of the entire cave was tens of meters. The darkness above the cave could not even be illuminated by the magic crystal lamp. Except for the dozens of streets on the cave floor, , other places are either pitch black, or red fire is burning, as if the entire cave has been stagnant in the night.

This was Chu Ming's first time entering the cave streets. The last time he was in Beltram, he only stayed for a few days and left in a hurry, without even having time to see the caves.

I finally saw it today, and it satisfied Chu Ming's curiosity. He looked around the street for a while, and suddenly asked Crono on the side: "Have you been to the central cave of Reran Kingdom? How does it compare here? Sample?"

"Central cave."

Crono pinched his chin and praised: "Before I went to the Violet Principality, I and my father had been to the central cave under King Reran's capital several times."

"To put it bluntly, the central cave is vast and ecologically complete, with many luminous forests, cave rivers, dark night swamps, and glowing cave creatures... It's like another world there, with the underground streets of Beltram and The central cave is completely incomparable.”

He waved his hand and said: "This can only be regarded as a large blacksmith shop at best, and the cave here is the fire."

Chu Ming sighed slightly: "Sure enough, the world is so vast."

The two chatted about the cave, walked through several streets, and came to the forging square where an iron furnace more than ten meters high was placed.

In the square, the sound of dwarf craftsmen hammering weapons could be heard one after another, sparks were flying, and dwarf apprentices were busily shuttled inside to carry heavy metal materials for the craftsmen. It was a lively scene.

Crono glanced around the square and soon found the target of his trip - a burly dwarf with sloppy clothes and bronze skin.

The man's eyes lit up and he waved his arms, "Master Sidi, I'm here to see you."

Ding, ding, ding...

The dwarf's hammer struck the red-hot iron rhythmically. This scene seemed to have some magic, attracting Chu Ming's eyes.

After hearing Crono's cry, Sidi stopped beating, picked up the iron block and took a look, and finally set his sights on Crono.

But compared to Crono's enthusiastic attitude, Sidi seemed a lot colder. He just sighed: "After I forged that useless sword according to your boy's request, I was laughed at by other craftsmen. How long have you dared to come to me?"

Crono was beaming, obviously not taking the dwarf's words to heart. He patted Chu Ming on the shoulder and said to Sidi: "Look, who am I bringing here? Ren Brick, Yun Brick, who is practiced by his family." The thunder secret method is incomparable with the long sword you forged, and this guy is a pervert, so he can definitely withstand the power of that long sword."

Hearing this, Sidi couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chu Ming. When he felt Chu Ming's aura, he shook his head.

"Crono, I won't argue with you if you brag. This guy's aura is deep blue. How can he withstand the power of that long sword? Even if it is an epic, with the help of the magic pattern armor, it can't stop it. The damage of a sword.”

Chu Ming listened to the incomprehensible words of the two people. He lowered his head slightly and saluted Sidi, and then asked: "Excuse me, master, what kind of sword is it? Even the owner of the long sword cannot bear it."

Sidi was about to speak, but didn't know how to explain, so she could only wave her hand, "I don't know what to say either. You two come to the sword trial field with me. You will know after you try it. Anyway, there are magic patterns." With the protection of the armor, you won’t be able to die for a while.”

After the dwarf finished speaking, he gave some instructions to the apprentices around him and then walked towards the back of the forging square.

Behind the dwarf, Crono glanced at Sidi secretly and whispered: "Sidi Firehammer comes from the central cave of the Kingdom of Reran. He is a famous master craftsman even in the royal capital, so our family has always treated him Very respectful.”

"But...hahaha."

Crono had an embarrassed look on his face.

"After I asked Master Sidi to help me forge the long sword through my family's connections, the sword was indeed forged, but neither the dwarf knights here nor our family's epic knights can use it. The master thought he had forged one. Waste Sword, I have been depressed about this for a long time, and other master craftsmen are still secretly laughing at me."

The man said helplessly: "But I really made the request based on your strength. Who knew other knights couldn't use it? I was really wronged."

Chu Ming touched his chin and said with a strange look: "Even the epic knight can't use it. Are you sure I can use it?"

Crono patted his chest and said in assurance: "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to use it, so I asked the master to make a special pair of magic pattern armor. If you want to wear it, it won't be used... Then wait until you get to Epic. You will definitely get to Epic." It works.”

Chu Ming looked strange and said speechlessly: "So after all, you are not sure whether I can use it."

Crono smiled awkwardly, "There was an accident when forging and selecting materials. I exaggerated your strength a little too much. Master Sidi used a lot of extreme magic materials on the long sword..."

Chu Ming sighed and said: "I hope this sword can really be used."

The three of them walked behind the blast furnace for a few minutes and arrived at a spacious venue. There were many weapon racks placed around the venue. The long swords and spears on them were shining brightly and looked different from ordinary weapons.

Chu Ming walked to the weapon shelf, pulled out a long sword and observed it.

【Sword of Fire Bronze】

[Quality: Dark Blue]

[Skill: Fire Additional]

He glanced at the information in the history book and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Just pull it out casually, and it will be a long sword of dark blue quality. Then the weapons on these weapon racks are all of this quality.

Crono saw Chu Ming's movements and explained: "The weapons placed here are all to be tested. The knights will test the strength of the swords and the properties of the long swords, and then they can leave the cave after registering them."

"That sword of yours was tested here too."

As he said that, Crono had a bit of embarrassment on his face, "But... because the power of the long sword is too weird, well, it's so powerful that it can't tell the difference between friend and foe, so it still hasn't passed the test."

Sidi, who was walking in front of the two men, suddenly stopped. He pointed forward and said: "Young man, the sword you want is right there. If you want to use it, please pull it out first."

Chu Ming looked in the direction of the dwarf's fingertips and saw a long sword with a silver-black body and a zigzag pattern on the ground on an empty ground in the sword testing ground. From time to time, you can still see arcs of destructive violence bouncing out. The long sword seems to have a terrifying aura, and the surrounding sword-testing knights do not dare to get too close to it.

The electric arc exploded on the sword, causing a wave of shock in Chu Ming's heart. Chu Ming squinted his eyes slightly. He felt that the long sword in front of him was like an unruly and fierce horse, and someone who wanted to get close to it at any time It seems that it is not easy to tame it once a person shows off his power.

Crono glanced at the long sword a few times. He seemed to have been attacked by a long sword before, leaving a big shadow in his heart. The man's eyes shrank slightly and reminded: "Ren, be careful, this guy has absorbed Thunder, the sword is full of destructive power. I saw an epic knight just touched him before, and half of his arm was black."

"Thunder power?"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed.

He knew that the thunder Crono was referring to was not the kind of thunder inspired by the Cloud Thunder Secret Technique, but the real thunder in the sky.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming suddenly understood. No wonder even the epic knight's arm would instantly turn black when he touched this long sword. The power of the thunder in the sky was incomparable with the thunder he condensed with the secret method of cloud thunder. The thunder in the sky was incomparable. It's so terrifying that even if an epic knight encounters it, there is still a risk of death. Only the legendary knight can cross the thunderstorm and bathe in the thunder light with pure physical strength.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Knights like Chu Ming who practice the secret arts related to thunder may be able to regain the power of natural disasters in the end. Their resistance to thunder is much stronger than other knights. Maybe they can really do it. Take this sword.

"I advise you to build Sidi's armor first and then try it again. Ahem... I saw with my own eyes a knight who didn't wear armor and was so electrocuted that his whole body was scorched black. If it weren't for the general abnormality of the knight's physique, I would have thought that this was the case. Guy’s not going to make it.”

Crono coughed and looked at Sidi, "Master Sidi, take out the armor first. What if something unexpected happens? I just want to try the armor made for me."

"Hmph, you kid is just thinking about your turtle shell."

Sidi snorted, and after giving a few instructions to the two sword-testing knights next to him, the two knights nodded and walked into the weapon rack.

After a while, two knights came back holding two pieces of thick silver and black armor.

Sidi looked expectant and said: "You guys try it on. This is my first time making magic pattern armor. The manufacturing process is definitely incomparable with those of the human armor craftsmen in the Yapu Kingdom, but my magic pattern armor is better in use." The materials are solid, and I have greatly optimized the amplification of the magic pattern on the armor, making these two rough magic pattern armors extremely tough, and can also weaken the damage caused by spells to the armor to a certain extent."

"You must know that when those knights used these two pairs of armor to test the scrap sword, the scrap sword failed to leave any traces on it."

Chu Ming's expression changed, and he picked up the armor from the knight's hand with interest.

[Forbidden Demon Armor]

[Quality: Purple☆☆]

[Skills: Elemental resistance, solid protection, magic pattern repair]

[Remarks: The armor is extremely tough, and the armor remains even when you are gone. 】

Chu Ming pressed his palm on the silver-black fish-scale arm armor. Magic lines flowed on it, and the purple formed a mysterious pattern, like a layer of tough armor, which easily blocked the force of his fingers.

Seeing this scene, he showed a bit of surprise on his face, and then a few arcs of electricity jumped from his fingertips and shot towards the armor's magic pattern.

There was only crackling in the air, but the armor under the purple lines showed no intention of being shaken.

Chu Ming couldn't help but admired: "What a good pair of armor."

To be honest, the Forbidden Demon Armor is the best armor Chu Ming has seen since he has been in another world for so long. One can imagine how much care this dwarf master craftsman put into it.

He looked at the 3 armor in his hand fondly for a while, and then put it on under Sidi's expectant eyes.

Chu Ming moved his body. The whole armor was extremely heavy, weighing several hundred kilograms in total, but wearing it on him would not affect his movements.

"really not bad."

Crono's joyful voice came from the side. The man turned around in his armor, with a very satisfied expression on his face.

"Hahaha, starting from today, I, Crono, can be considered half a knight."

Chu Ming glanced at Crono, and suddenly there was a picture in his mind of him wearing knight armor and fighting the enemy, and suddenly took out his staff, shocking the enemy.

Smiling and shaking his head, he returned his attention to the long sword in front of him and began to feel excited to try it.

Sidi couldn't help but remind: "Boy, don't force it, this sword can't even be endured by the epic knight."

Chu Ming nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master Xidi, I know it from my heart."

Crono said quickly: "If you can't hold on, remember to let go. If you can't hold this sword, forget it. I will ask Master Sidi to make another one."

Hearing this, Sidi blew her nose and glared: "You have a beautiful idea, kid."

Chu Ming ignored the two of them. He took a deep breath and moved his legs towards the sword.

The long sword seemed to be conscious. After noticing Chu Ming's approach, a thunderstorm suddenly erupted from the sword, shrouding Chu Ming inside.

Crackling...

Fierce thunder and lightning struck the armor, colliding with the floating patterns on it, setting off sparks.

The thunderstorm was blocked from the magic pattern by the Forbidden Demon Armor, and could not penetrate into the armor at all. Chu Ming's pace did not change, he strolled in the thunderstorm, and soon came to the long sword.

When Crono and the two saw this, they couldn't help but hold their breath. Although Sidi thought there was little hope that Chu Ming could tame this thunder sword, he still hoped in his heart that Chu Ming could do it.

Once Chu Ming masters this long sword, it will prove that what he forged by Sidi is not a useless sword, but a domineering sword that can trigger thunder!

"call."

Chu Ming's eyes became determined. He stretched out his arm forward and grasped the hilt of the sword under the nervous gaze of everyone.

Zizzizi... Thunder light was raging on the sword, flickering on Chu Ming's iron finger sheath, but it could not break through the armor's defense.

Chu Ming was stunned. The power of this thunder seemed to be different from what he thought.

While he was still dazed, a dull rumbling sound suddenly came from the cave ceiling.

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed. He seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up.

I saw dense thunderclouds on the dark cave dome, thick thunder snakes shuttled among them, and the aura of destruction was brewing from above.

boom! ! !

The thunder suddenly fell from the thunder clouds, surpassing everyone's reaction, and directly bombarded Chu Ming like a divine punishment.
